Preschool Story Time

From September to the Wednesday after Memorial Day, come join us Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. for our Preschool Story Time. Each week will have a different theme. Miss Karen or Miss Mary will read a book and do a craft with the group. This program is geared for 1 to 5 year olds, but all ages are welcome. We will follow the Richmond school schedule and will not meet when school is closed. Story hour is a great place to make new friends for the young and young at heart.

Book Discussion

On Tuesday, July 21st, at 6:30 p.m. we will be meeting to discuss Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter.

 Eleanor H. Porter’s Pollyanna was first published in book form in 1913. This popular story of an impoverished orphan girl who travels from America’s western frontier to live with her wealthy maternal Aunt Polly in the fictional east coast town of Beldingsville went through forty-seven printings in seven years and remains in print today in its original version, as well as in various translations and adaptations. The story’s enduring appeal lies in Pollyanna’s sunny personality and in her glad game, her playful attempt to accentuate the positive in every situation. In celebration of its centenary, this collection of thirteen original essays examines a wide variety of the novel’s themes and concerns, as well as adaptations in film, manga, and translation.
